Federal obligations indexed for Kentucky

Kentucky’s $528.29B from award files

The $528.29B Kentucky total is built from obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. Obligation means a recorded federal commitment. Outlay means cash movement at Treasury. This page keeps Kentucky on the first series. The Commonwealth’s own budget is not the source of $528.29B.

Reuse the two-decimal form. A rounded slogan would not match the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 287,766 awards for Kentucky. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on SpendingVault.

287,766 Kentucky award records

287,766 awards is a count of records, not unique Kentucky recipients. Modifications and assistance actions in the source add rows. This packet does not publish a recipient total. Dollar volume and row volume can move on different scales.

The Kentucky spending hub places $528.29B next to 287,766 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

FY2024–2026 on the Kentucky index

Kentucky’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $528.29B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Late actions and corrections in USAspending.gov can change $528.29B and 287,766 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

Kentucky’s $528.29B combines federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. It is not a calendar-year total and not a Frankfort appropriation. A federal fiscal year begins on October 1. The 287,766-award count shares that window. File corrections can change both statistics without changing the obligation definition.

Kentucky’s 287,766 awards are records, not unique recipients. The $528.29B is obligations on those records for FY2024–2026. The Kentucky spending hub keeps the two columns so neither is inferred from the other. This packet does not invent a typical award size.

Kentucky’s $528.29B and 287,766 awards should be cited together when the question is about the FY2024–2026 extract. One number without the other hides whether the reader asked about dollars or about record volume. SpendingVault’s Kentucky hub and related tables keep both on the obligation definition from USAspending.gov.

What the Kentucky tables omit

The Kentucky hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $528.29B. Stretching 287,766 rows to cover every federal presence in Kentucky would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of Kentucky federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $528.29B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash at Treasury. Kentucky’s $528.29B is the commitment series from USAspending.gov award files. SpendingVault does not convert it. Mixing an outlay headline with 287,766 award rows produces a false Kentucky story.

Frankfort’s budget and Treasury outlays are other books. Stay with USAspending.gov award obligations when you reuse $528.29B. Agency and comparison pages on this site do the same.
